In His Own Words
About him
I’m a keen (but not that fast) runner, usually found volunteering at or taking part in a parkrun every week, improving my piano playing, playing board games or going out somewhere in my VW camper. In 2025 I’ve got entries in the Bristol Half Marathon and it’ll be my first time at the Great North Run (staying in Durham).
I would love to find someone on my wavelength to share these and other activities with, I was on this dating network before up to 2023, with limited success, but nothing enduring. Still I’m positive and optimistic!
I enjoy a pint of real ale or a glass of wine, eat most things, and I have been told I don’t look my age, but you’ll have to be the judge of that!
I’m semi-retired, used to work in IT, but now just do some part-time grocery delivery driving. Not really into art, politics, religion, opera, museums, “alternative” topics, adrenaline sports, horses or grandkids (yet!), and I am a cat person rather than a dog person (more so since a couple of dog bites while out running!). TV hasn’t been the same since Morecambe and Wise and The Good Life - I am keen on The Chase and The Repair Shop though, and I’ll occasionally watch F1 or football, but I don’t understand rugby! Last concert I went to was The Corrs in Cardiff last November, with my son, it was amazing!
I’m loyal, generally laid back, tactile, more listener than talker, and am caring and considerate of others. I miss coffee or breakfast in bed, affection, intimacy, and generally having someone to be a great team with.
Originally from London, lived in Somerset since 2001. After my wife’s affair in 2015 we have been amicably separated and doing our own things ever since, and her outlook on life is very different nowadays. Two 20-something kids still to leave home but eventually it’ll all get sorted. Not stopping me from positively moving on with my life in the meantime though. I’ve been dating on and off since 2019 with mixed results, and the kids would love for me to find someone new, could it be you?
About his ideal match
If you’re open and honest, tactile, perhaps with a romantic streak and space in your life, then that’s a great start. I’d love to find someone who can go on runs with me or spend time in my camper - I’m also happy to be involved in your world and your interests and if you were in some way musical or interested in board or card games, that could be good too.
I wonder if I should get back into yoga to help with my running and grocery-crate-lifting abilities, maybe you can help me with that. I love canals and narrowboats so perhaps that’s something you also have an interest in. And I’m not a massive fan of international travel but there are a few places in the world (and the UK) I wouldn’t mind visiting with a partner.
I’ve kept my search radius quite small to start with, as previously I’ve found establishing a strong connection over a long distance to be quite tricky. But I would love to begin as friends, meet up, do some stuff together, and see what develops.
